Microbial symbionts inhabit the soma and surfaces of most multicellular species and
instigate both beneficial and harmful infections. Despite their ubiquity, we are only beginning …

Organisms across the tree of life form symbiotic partnerships with microbes for metabolism,
protection and resources. While some hosts evolve extreme dependence on their symbionts …

Single-cell genomics has advanced the field of microbiology from the analysis of microbial
metagenomes where information is “drowning in a sea of sequences,” to recognizing each …

We present the Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics Project, a global collaboration to generate high
quality genome sequences for a wide range of eukaryotes and their microbial symbionts …

Our understanding of host influence on microbial evolution has focused on symbiont
specialization and the genomic streamlining that often accompanies it. However, a vast …

Symbiosis with microbes is a ubiquitous phenomenon with a massive impact on all living
organisms, shaping the world around us today. Theoretical and experimental studies show …

Omics, including genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, enable us to explain symbioses
in terms of the underlying molecules and their interactions. The central task is to transform …

Our understanding of prokaryote–eukaryote symbioses as a source of evolutionary
innovation has been rapidly increased by the advent of genomics, which has made possible …
